may Light hold my hand – v3

I choose a different path
I want to be faithful
no more darkness
no anger, no hate
may Light hold my hand
into the Light, forward,
may the Spirit guide my path

never lingering in darkness
never going astray
from the path you have for us
I have claimed the words
those gifted by God;
but I have not rejected the shackles
the hold that darkness held
on my life, on my soul

I reject them now
the darkness, the world
the ways of my past
going further
into your hands
I give my spirit
into your hands, oh Lord
